The rooms here are very outdated. We had old green carpet and pink tile over the whole bathroom. Our TV was on the same wall as the beds, so you couldn't watch tv from the bed. We asked to move but they said they were full. Our one reprieve from our awful room (and with food we could tolerate) was the bar, but on the second night the whole bar was reserved so we couldn't sit there. The hotel reeks of faded glory. That being said, the service and the hotel area were great.

Historical Hotel living in the past
The hotel has an amazing history and generally is very nice but dated and a bit tired. Our traditional Japanese room, which was semi below ground felt like we were in a dank basement. For the price, I felt it was a bit much compared to other more modern, family friendly hotels in the Kyoto/Osaka/Nara area.

The hotel is full of historical relevance, and it was to stay at this elegant and historical hotel. The rooms are roomy, clean, with toiletries and beverages provided. We ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel - everything was delicious, and very fresh. Hotel staff was great and nice; Shuttle service to/from Nara Station provided though I wish they told us that there's one, as we had to walk quite a ways to get to the hotel - we hopped on the wrong bus (should've taken a taxi); they have electric bike rentals and it was fun to go to Nara Park with the bikes. I would recommend this hotel for those who's visiting Nara - staying at this old historical hotel is an experience in itself.

FIVE STAR SERVICE THROUGH AND THROUGH!! By far my best service at any hotel I’ve been at. It started with our reservation and I advised the hotel it was my son’s birthday. They had tons of suggestions for things for us to do and he was THRILLED with everything. From the shuttle service driver who was sweet, smiling and took care of all our luggage without a second thought, to being greeted by staff or when they ran down the driveway with umbrellas when we got caught in the rain to the delicious breakfast and dinner, this was an absolute joy to stay here. The location is perfect and we got to see baby and mama deer roaming the property. If you go to Nara, or honestly anywhere near here, and you don’t stay here, you will be missing out!!!
